Janssen to Showcase Commitment to Advancing Science for Genitourinary Cancers at AUA 2021

Compelled to advance innovation for patients and the urology community, oral presentations highlight real-world effectiveness of and patient adherence to ERLEADA® (apalutamide), plus PSA response from Phase 3 TITAN and SPARTAN studies in patients with advanced prostate cancer

San Francisco, CA (UroToday.com) -- The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced today multiple company-sponsored presentations in prostate and bladder cancers will be highlighted at the virtual 2021 American Urological Association Annual Meeting (AUA 2021), September 10-13.

"Janssen maintains a strong commitment to advancing innovation and new therapeutic options for patients with genitourinary malignancies. As the treatment of genitourinary cancers becomes more complex, we continue to work with urologists and their teams to improve outcomes for patients across the continuum of disease," said Craig Tendler, M.D., Vice President, Late Development and Global Medical Affairs, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "We look forward to sharing the latest results from across our pipeline and portfolio at the upcoming AUA meeting and remain focused on accelerating science that unlocks new opportunities along the care pathway, from diagnosis to treatment of advanced disease."
Janssen will share four data presentations highlighting clinical advances for two therapies from our solid tumor portfolio.

ERLEADA® studies to be presented at AUA include:

  • Real-World Effectiveness and Treatment Adherence in Non-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (nmCRPC) Patients (oral presentation): Real-world evidence from 63 urology practices across the U.S. detailing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) outcomes and treatment adherence among patients with nmCRPC treated with ERLEADA®, with stratification by race (Abstract #PD05-08)
  • Prostate-Specific Antigen Kinetics in Patients from TITAN and SPARTAN (oral presentation): Post-hoc analysis of PSA kinetics in 1,331 patients treated with ERLEADA® from both the TITAN and SPARTAN trials (Abstract #PD34-11)
  • Sites and Burden of Metastases and Long-Term Outcomes in TITAN Patients (moderated poster session): Assessment of relationships between the number and location of metastases and oncological outcomes in 1,052 patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) enrolled in the TITAN trial (Abstract #MP24-08)

Additionally, Janssen will present an update on the Phase 3 SunRISe-2 trial evaluating an investigational intravesical drug delivery system, TAR-200, in combination with the programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor cetrelimab in muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (Abstract # MP13-17).1

"As part of our commitment to help patients live longer and better lives, Janssen looks forward to expanding the focus from our legacy in prostate cancer to include other genitourinary cancers," said Serge Messerlian, President, Oncology, Janssen Biotech, Inc. "We're collaborating with diverse urology stakeholders to understand and meet the challenges along the path to better care, leveraging clinical and operational excellence to strengthen our allyship with the entire urology community."

Further details about these data and the ways Janssen is working to shape the future of urologic care will be made available throughout AUA 2021 via the Janssen AUA Virtual Newsroom.

Abstracts to be presented at the meeting include:

  • Abstract # PD05-08: Real-World Effectiveness and Treatment Adherence of Apalutamide in Non-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients
  • Abstract # PD34-11: Prostate-Specific Antigen Kinetics in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer Treated with Apalutamide: Results from the TITAN and SPARTAN Studies
  • Abstract # MP24-08: Relationships of Sites and Burden of Metastases with Long-Term Outcomes and Molecular Subtypes in TITAN
  • Abstract # MP13-17: SunRISe-2: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized Study Evaluating the Efficacy of TAR-200 in Combination with Cetrelimab Versus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Participants with Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder
